Frequently Asked Questions


My drive keeps clicking and can’t be accessed.


It could be a bad drive, defective power supply, or if it is a bus powered drive, there may not be enough power being supplied on the bus.

Desktop drives

  • If you have access to another LaCie AC Power Adapter for your specific type of drive, try it.

  • Try the drive on another computer.
  • Mobile drives

  • If the drive came with an AC Power Adapter, connect it and see if the drive functions.

  • Some LaCie mobile drives ship with a USB Power Cable. It can plug into a second USB port and then to the power plug on the drive. It may provide enough additional power to the drive for it to operate.

  • Try the drive on another computer.
  • Note: Some laptop computers do not supply enough power on the USB bus to power the drive. If it works on a desktop computer but not on the laptop, this is the issue. Try the USB Power Cable or the AC Power Adapter.
